ugh also 8.1 comes with an alternative to this fucking app screen bullshit yeah? I just remembered my fucking acer came with a specific thing to give me a desktop again so that I had a competent fucking computer system unlike this usual windows 8 apple wannabe horseshit. That’ll be a real fucking pain in the ass if I have to fully learn to use this nonsense system.
God I hate everything about this process.
Have you tried Classic Shell? Because it sounds like you need Classic Shell.
